My guess is that the lightbar is on an electric lift, so it can be lifted when it is used on highways. This gives greater distance visibility.

Great pics, I love the sky in the pics. People could say what they want about American vehicles, the bottom line is they look good anywhere.

Ford is all over Sweden, with its European models like the Ka, Focus and Mondeo.

Any connection to the now defunct Group4Falck company ?

Defunct? Since when? I thought they just changed the name.


This company is http://www.falck.com, but yes, there is a connection: http://www.g4s.com/en/Who%20we%20are/History/

Since 2004.


Group4Falck of Sweden merged with Securicor of UK in 2004, to become the new company G4S, Group4Securicor. As far as I knew, the name "Falck" had disappeared in the process. That's why I'm surprised to see it on a tow truck 6 years after the merge, and am wondering if it is the "same" Falck or perhaps (as it seems) a different business line.


Obviously only the private security BU has been merged away, and the other lines of business still remain under Falck's flag.


Thanks for clarifying.


Nice trucks no matter what of course...
